How
many Indians
voted on
November 8th 2016
for this
"Swashbuckler"?
Thousands
from what I have seem!
Notice the word
"Indian"?
Notice the word
"Indian"?
Deepest
apologies to my friends from India.
I did
not say Natives or first people!
"How
do you like him now"?
Trump
called Andrew Jackson
“A
swashbuckler.”
The
Cherokees called him
“Indian
killer.”

WASHINGTON
-
Donald Trump has a portrait of Andrew Jackson
hanging by his desk in the Oval
Office.
On
Monday,
in an interview with
Salena Zito,
the 45th president
lauded the seventh
president,
calling
Jackson
“a
swashbuckler”
who
could have
prevented the Civil War.
The
Cherokees had a different name for Jackson.
They
called him
“Indian
killer.”
The
Creek called him
“Sharp
Knife.”
On
May 28, 1830, Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act,
which Native Americans say
was a form of legalized ethnic cleansing.
The
act forced more than 60,000 Native Americans
from their lands in the Southwest
United States,
clearing
the way for white pioneers.
Native
Americans were forced
to walk hundreds of miles
to
resettle
west of the
Mississippi River.
Historians
believe
more than 15,000 died
on the difficult journey.
